Optimi

xWizard is a well established and proven multi-technology network planning solution that offers advanced functionalities for propagation prediction, performance analysis, network simulation and specialized diagnostic, supporting iDEN, TDMA, GSM, cdma2000, UMTS/HSPA, WiMAX and LTE.

It helps engineers to plan cellular networks more efficiently and supports all the decision-making activities across all the stages in the lifecycle of the network. Market leading accuracy is achieved by means of xWizard’s advanced propagation model optimization functionality, leading to superior network planning. By using a centralized database in a multi-user environment with complete permission control, effective and controlled collaboration is ensured between team members working in a large project.

Propagation data is the basis for accurate RF modelling of any network, regardless of generation, technology or frequency band. xWizard offers a wide range of macro and micro propagation models, based on parameters that can be locally fine-tuned by means of sophisticated optimization techniques that take drive data as an input. Apart from advanced propagation modelling, xWizard also features a wide set of sophisticated analyses, ranging from static assessments of the system performance to full Monte Carlo simulations.

Use cases

• Network planning for green field deployments and infrastructure expansions.
• Data warehousing, allowing all system data to be conciliated in xWizard’s database.
• Propagation model optimization for urban (micro-cell) and non urban (macro-cell) environment.
• Site rationalization.
• Validation of multiple RF designs and what-if scenarios by means of Monte Carlo simulations and differential analyses.

Benefits

• Scalable deployment capabilities to adapt to different operator sizes (from centralized large-scale enterprise deployments to standalone installations).
• Multi-technology projects, e.g. allowing engineers to use the same project to simultaneously expand a UMTS/HSPA network and plan the roll-out of LTE.
• More accurate predictions for better assessment of coverage and interference.
• More control on site rationalization processes, by means of more accurate assessment tools.
• Seamless integration with Optimi optimization solutions (xACP and xAFP).
